Exports the map as an unfolded cube, with automaticically added bleeding at the edges.

Half your texture height or more will usually have slightly squashed horizons, 35% texture height is usually pretty good)Ĭancelling these prompts will reprompt until you confirm with valid input. It will have a suggested value by default which usually has a rather desirable amount of warping (0 will look a lot like a cyclinder with solid caps. This effectively determines how many pixels will be put into the bottom and top caps of the skybox from your texture.

It will then ask for a 'Top/Bottom Pixels'. If the file is valid and readable by the program, it will ask you what square resolution you want for each side of the skybox (This is capped at 4096 and defaults to 512). Prompts you to select the texture you wish to convert. Select a nice PNG from your filesystem. Bigger textures will generally look better. Taller textures will look as though the vertical disappearing point is further away. The preview uses the output resolution and is genuinely a cube so what you see is what you get. Simply load a texture (Must be PNG right now) and choose a tile resolution, Top/Bottom Pixel amount and it will magically generate a somewhat convincing skybox! It will automatically preview and spin around the skybox to give you a good idea of the result. This is for those cases where you want more artistic control compared to a procedural skybox generator. Convert flat horizontal tiled textures into convincing skyboxes! Useful for, well, skies! But also useful for reflection maps.
